Brilliant Czechs advance in style

LISBON, Portugal -- The Czech Republic bounced back from two goals down to beat the Netherlands 3-2 and claim a place in the quarterfinals at Euro 2004.

must admit, it was a very interesting game to watch, while i normally hate soccer. but what cnn forgets to mention is that the spanish arbitary totally neglected a penalty in the first half, in favour of the dutch. and that heitinga got a second yellow card, while one of the czechs fell, without heitinga so much even touching the guy.

of course i'm biased, but they've shown rewinds of these moments, and it was totally unfair. i'm pretty sure the spanish guy will get a lot of shit over him because of that...

too bad for the dutch guys though. sports aren't always just as fair...
